War on Brats?

The owner of this restaurant has a policy help to keep his place comfortable to visit. I commend his attempt to train parents to actually be parents. How will children learn to behave if one never shows them how. quote: "I think that the mothers who allow their kids to run around and scream, that's wrong, but kids scream and there is nothing you can do about it. What are we supposed to do, not enjoy ourselves at a cafe?" YES!! You have a obligation to your child to NOT ENJOY yourself at the cafe'!! In fact you have another obligation. That is to be as polite as possible to those around you. And part of that is to keep your child from exhibiting disruptive behavior.

As an aside I note that the article did not mention any Dads upset by the policy. This could simply be that there were no Dads there to be interviewed or it could be that men in general tend to care more about being embarrassed than women do. I know that when Boy behaves poorly in a public place I am embarrassed and A is not. Any thoughts on this?
